Committees

The IUB Student Sustainability Council has several standing committees to carry out its logistical work in advancing sustainability on the Bloomington campus. A list of committees is below, followed by descriptions of their activities and contact information. Any IUB student is welcome to participate on any committee.

Logistics Committee

The principal tasks of the Logistics Committee are to take minutes at all meetings (and make those minutes available to the public), to ensure the continued good standing of the IUB SSC with the IU Student Activities Office, and to develop and maintain relations with sustainability-related student organizations at other colleges/universities/technical schools. Contact the Logistics Director for more information.

Publicity Committee

The Publicity Committee is tasked with all things related to recruitment and education/outreach. Hence, the committee is responsible for seeking new participants and members as well as for event advertising, IU Sustainability Fund promotion, and media outreach. Students interested in marketing, graphic design, website upkeep, or running around putting up flyers will have plenty to do on this committee. Contact iubssc@indiana.edu for more information.

Committee for Resolutions

As a collective voice for a broad cross-section of the IUB student body, the Council uses resolutions to make statements regarding various aspects of sustainability at IU and in the community. Committee participants work with member representatives to draft language for resolutions, which will then be up for a vote before the General Assembly. Contact iubssc@indiana.edu for more information.

Events Committee

The Events Committee is charged with planning and executing all Council-sponsored projects and events that fall outside of SustainIU. Such events may include lectures, panels, film screenings, field trips, and the like. A current listing of events can be found on the events page. Contact iubssc@indiana.edu for more information.
